I'm continuing to report from Delphi, Indiana, spending long nights in line and sitting in court each day to bring you detailed reports from the Richard Allen trial.

0:13.7

Allen is charged with murdering best friends, 13-year-old Abigail Williams, and 14-year-old Liberty German in February of 2017. And the judge has

0:23.7

actually decided to not only not televise this trial, but to also not even share audio. Thus, I am here

0:29.9

to be the eyes and ears of the courtroom. These episodes are nightly live streams that I record on

0:35.9

YouTube shortly after court ends each day. And if you

0:39.1

notice these episodes are a bit more choppy than our other episodes, please understand why. We are

working around the clock to bring you the very latest on the trial with a quick turnaround.

chair. Go ahead. And, you know, they explained once we were all in there that only, and this is

1:42.1

where I read my note, so I have to look down, but only 17 people

1:45.4

will be allowed in the courtroom. And if we talk, people will not be allowed back in. In other

1:53.8

words, they also explained that they had two extra bailiffs in the courtroom, and a line immediately started forming outside for lunch.

2:03.4

Chairbear, thank you. We will. Thank you so much.
